Dynamic List of Items (Section Headers)

I have built a supply chain review app which asks a set of questions, broken down into 5 sections, about the performance of a supply chain partner. As each question comes up, the relevant section is highlighted above, showing the user the context of their question.

Other departments in my business now want to use the app, which is cool, but they have different sections. I can't think of a way to do this dynamically, i.e. upon load, the app checks the sections on the relevant departments SP list, then displays them. I can do this in hard code, but with different depts wanting to use the app (we employ over 4000 people) I would rather it was dynamic based on maybe a hard limit of 5 sections.

 

I hope I have explained this simply enough...

 

As an example, my dept uses the sections - SHE, Product, People, Sustainability and Management. Another dept want to use - Quality, Return Rate and Technical. 

 

I have used HTML text to create the section indicators by the way, then based on the current section, the border is highlighted.

    Hi @russ-parks ,

     

    The only way I can think of is using a list to manage the departments and sections. For example, a List named "Sections" where lists unique sections and a column "Department" includes different departments for each section.

    Another case is some departments may share same sections, then the List will have unique departments and a Choices column to select multiple sections for the department of the same row:

    With a list like the two tables, you will be able to check the department of the user logged in, filter the list and use a horizontal Gallery to display the sections belong to the users department. OnSelect of the Gallery then set to update a variable to hold user selected section and display corresponding questions.

     

    Best regards,

    Hi, thanks for the reply, my data is setup almost exactly like this. I forgot about the gallery option, that's where I will head with it.
